Adman earned the title of MOP (Most Outstanding Picker) with a ho-hum 13-win effort in Week 17, making him the third winner in as many years — The CPA captured the crown in 2006, defeating sports writers Seth, Brian and Big Game, while Jessica joined last year to win.
This year was by far the toughest, with as many as 21 pickers in a given week, and up until the final week no one had claimed wins in three separate weeks — Crazed Wolverine gained his third title in Week 17 by going 13-3 and being closest to the overall score.
Let’s keep it going through the playoffs. I’ll list the games at the bottom like usual and we’ll see who makes it through the playoffs with the top mark.
We’ll wait for the Super Bowl to do a tiebreaker, so no need to pick overall points this weekend.

The roadies go 4-0.. yet I’d root against Baltimore if it played the spawns of Satan.
